Weeding out the negative people in our lives

Weeding out the negative people in our lives!!!
How do you know who are the good influences in your life and the toxic relationships? We all have people in our lives that we love, who make us feel good about ourselves and we also have those that push us down or belittle our accomplishments. In order to reach our goals and our maximum potential recognizing who is not a motivator and one who lifts you up, in your world, is the first step.
With that said, here are some of the signs you look for to recognize these toxic people in your life:
*Usually share the negative views of the topic being discussed, rarely positive views
*Encourage not speaking up/sharing your views/ standing up for yourself
*Gossip about others often
*Criticize and complain constantly
*Constantly angry
* Every time you leave their presence you feel drained, tired, and in a bad mood

Now off course with all of this said, let’s not forget that we are not perfect, and sometimes people tell us things we don’t like to here, not to make us feel bad, but to help us grow and change character flaws.
If you as a person are in touch with your mind, body, and soul, you will know from the feelings in your soul, the tension in your body and the thinking in your mind that the person you’re with is or is not a good influence for you!

Do You Have a Purpose?

Do you have a purpose, a direction, a mission for your life?
If not, it’s time to find it! In order to feel truly completely fulfilled you must identify your goals. Whether it is to start a family, change career paths, start your own business, travel, lose weight, you can make it happen once you identify what you want to achieve and when. Goals provide a sense of direction and meaning in the journey of life. In order to feel like there is a reason for living, you need to have something to look forward to, to motivate you.
Share with us,  what is that goal, purpose, and mission for you?

Spiritual Growth- Embracing Your Inner Guru


Start with a daily spiritual practice, such as meditating or reading a spiritual book, when you wake.
It will make you mindful whether you're going about your life peacefully or in a hectic way or what kind of people you're attracting. We are a product of what we spend MOST of our time doing.
Focus on generating positive energy around you from the moment you  step out of the door.  Smiles will almost always get returned and nice gestures seldomly go unnoticed.
